I'm assuming we're getting him, and I can see the talent he brings. Wondering if anyone has any insight into what he's like to play with. I'm a bit worried about chemistry. Marbury's not the easiest guy to play with ... his body language isn't subtle when he's pissed at teammates who've made mistakes ... will Crawford be thin skinner, or will he be pushed to do better when one of those Marbury sneers comes his way after Craw hoists an ill-advised shot?

We've got a kind of weird mix of personalities ... what with Marbs, 'Gazy, and then kind of quiet guys like Houston and Sweets. All very different. Don't know how Craw mixes in. Regardless, Lenny's going to have to do a Joe Torre to get the most out of this team.

Maybe JYD will help. Hope he comes in this deal if we only get one of him and ERob. Think he'll be very effective in NY, where his energy and hustle will make him a fan favorite and will, IMO, rub off on the rest of the team and lead to a 2nd unit that really plays some D.

lol u saig 'Gazy, damn man im making an revolution

yeah, "'Gazy" is very funny. Plus, it helps make the point that we got some odd dudes on the team.

if marbary and crawford are really the future and are on the same team together, it would be simliar to the francis and mobley.

I like to think that it could potentially be similar to Isiah and Joe Dumars

Wasn't Joe Johnson playing BEHIND Penny Hardaway in the rotation just a few months ago (Penny was starting)?

Oh, you're right he played ahead of Penny. I still like Jamal's playmaking skills and ball-handling more than JJ's. I also like the idea of going after players who actually are available and like the idea of getting rid of Shandon and/or Moochie

JJ isn't available, so why's he being discussed?

Maybe we can get Lebron James. I hear also is unavailable and we're obviously interested in discussing unavailable players

i have to agree...we mine as well be talking about going after Al Harrington too...these players are young, not signed to exorbitant contracts, & are NOT free agents, so what's the point in even discussing them as possibilities? at least w/guys like Walker, Z, Crawford, Dampier, etc., these guys are all on the market, so we can waste our time talking about them instead.

Good point nalod, I think people forget that he is just 24, in two years by time he is just 26, Houston will be in the final year of his contract and very tradeable and crawford can step in with two years of seasoning under Houston will be great... The bulls are still banking on 2 HS players who have basically proven that they are not ready to take it to the next level yet, if ever, Cartwright was a mess and I agree the bulls had a lot of misfits on that team....

Good post Nalod. I admit I was never thrilled about Craw., but he certainly can change with new surroundings. And it certainly helps a lot to have 3 all star or former all stars surrounding you, who are great teammates, in Stephon, Allan and Penny. They can all teach him a little something different.
